Universal Asphalt 8: Airborne - (by Gameloft)

Sorry if I missed it but are MP rooms for friends coming. Plus we need auto lock in with four cars or more with a timer until game launch

 

Game Impressions

Checked local multiplayer (iPad 4 + iPhone 5). Only via WiFi. No more bluetooth option. Other than that pretty the same like in A7. Our preferred game mode.

 

Does anyone know if save game progress is backed up to Gameloft servers or Game Center?

 

I had a multiplayer match start with just me and one other person?
I got a timer on the screen saying match starts in 10,9.......

 

In that case, just redeem the codes and let the downloads start.
If they fail, due to lack of space for example, or if you delete them after download, they will still show up on your purchased list so you'll have no problem, or charge, redownloading them later on when you want to play em.
Just be sure and let the downloads start and check you're purchased list afterwards.
Keep the codes, just in case, because once you've started a download, they'll show up on your own system allocation and support can sort it out if there is a later issue.

@workingman, thanks very much.
@Sambobsung, also thanks very much.
The birthday wishes are genuinely greatly appreciated.

 

Hmmm it didn't for me yesterday. Ill try again

 

Save game progress (cars, upgrades, career, device specific stuff) is done over gamecenter.
Leaderboards, multiplayer ranking and ghost times are done through Gameloft live servers.

So note to everybody. If you delete the game, DO NOT DELETE FROM GAMECENTER.
You're online stuff will be fine but you're career will not if you select to delete from gamecenter.

When you delete something that's linked to gamecenter, there's always a question to delete game and then a question to delete or keep gamecenter. Alway select KEEP gamecenter. That applies to a lot of games because a lot of devs are choosing gamecenter saves over iCloud at the moment.
And iCloud and gamecenter cloud saves are not the same system.
So just be cautious in that regard.

 

Happy Birthday, Rip. Many more

 

Cheers dude.
Again, its very much appreciated and very kind.

 

I have a badge too. But it only appears when a friend beats my ghost or challenges me or have a new ghost.
That's completely ridiculous!

 

Thanks a lot.

Check in your notification settings on the device.
Go in specifically to A8 in your notification Center.
In there you'll see notification Center on/off at the top. Be sure that's off.
Below that there are three more. View in lock screen, badge app icon and sounds.
Ensure those three are also in the off position. I suspect badge app icon may still be on.

Other than that, you have an alert style. Ensure that's over at "none".

That should sort it.

If it doesn't, go in to the app itself, settings (gear icon on top right) and "posts and notifications" (bottom right).
Make sure both in there are set to off.

Edit. That doesn't mean you have to have all notifications turned off for everything.
Just specifically in the A8 settings within notification Center itself.
Turning general notifications back on shouldn't affect individual app settings once you have them set up as above.
(I hope that's clear)
Let me know if it works and if it doesn't, pm me, we'll figure it out somehow.

 

Incredible that this cost me 99 cents. And that Gameloft is getting only about 70 cents per purchase.

Later on, the payouts get more generous and you can start to be less stingy with upgrades and new rides. But to be able to even unlock everything without paying a cent? Incredibly generous. Too generous.

Someone else (who will go unnamed) has said it before, but I'll repeat it: despite the ragging we all love to give GL for the DH series, they've remained very loyal to their original fan base with premium and some very generous (and decent - Zombiewood was good fun) F2P titles. Much more so than EA has. MC4 could've (should've) been F2P. Same goes with Gangstar 4.

 

Is there an update already? What does it do?

 

I think what you have turned on is only just for the ghost times and challenges, not any multiplayer part.
At least that what it sounds like to me.
And I'm pretty sure it only works for challenges and the like and that's why the badge on the app stays on because people on your list are playing and putting times up is all.
Its not generally worth it but in this the Asphalt Tracker/friends list is actually a bit better anyway because you can just look in there and then go beat there time.

Note there's also a little envelope icon on top left for challenges people send you directly.
Its most likely that part that's feeding your app badge.

Dunno really. I know having app badge icon turned off in notification Center should mean no red icon but notification Center gets confused pretty easy depending on the app so I tend to just default to off for most because I couldn't be looking at that red badge number climbing higher all day long. Plus its a wicked battery drainer.

Now I've forgotten what we were talking about in the first place I got distracted by JB and the great "unnamed" ones. They're always right..... Or at least think they are anyway.

 

Not seeing an update here. And, geez, I'm going to hate it when one comes - having to play the juggle the space game.

 

Well I dont think its too generous actually. I do want to buy some IAP just to show them I am grateful but I think this is normal. Just that with all the freemium madness going on lately we are all a little shocked when a game of this magnitude comes out at 99c. Great job Gameloft this is truly a gem of a game.

 

This is worth a hella lot more than a buck.

Sadly, the price is reflective of the average AppStore shopper's attitude.

 

Happy birthday Rip

Shoulda bought my iPad to school so I could play this in study -_- I want to play mooooooooooooooore
